On March 3rd, it is World Wildlife Day, a time to celebrate and raise awareness of the world’s wild animals and plants. The theme for World Wildlife Day 2026 is ‘Medicinal and Aromatic Plants: Conserving Health, Heritage and Livelihoods’.

Children’s Art Week takes place over three weeks from 29th June to 19th July. The celebration of the visual arts aims to encourage families and children to take part in creative activities that they may not have tried before.

During the three weeks, creative activities take place across the UK, both virtually and in-person, and there are a host of opportunities for children to be inspired. Let's discover some of the ways you can get creative with the virtual paint tools inside Purple Mash.

Leadership coach and founder of Leading in the Now, Dan Edwards, looks at the important role that parents play in school improvement planning.

Each month we highlight a #MashoftheMonth, focusing on a tool or application within Purple Mash and how it can be used within the classroom to support learning across the curriculum.

This January the Mash of the Month is 2Blog.
